Thanks, Tabish ji. I think you are right. I checked in GBIF for specimens from India <https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?country=IN&taxon_key=5338199> and it seems to be correct as per Specimen from Manipur <https://api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/https%3A%2F%2Fmedialib.naturalis.nl%2Ffile%2Fid%2FL.2966399%2Fformat%2Flarge>.
Looks different from *Uncaria sessilifructus *Roxb. <https://www.gbif.org/species/5338285> as per GBIF <https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?country=IN&taxon_key=5338285>- specimen <https://api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nhm.ac.uk%2Fservices%2Fmedia-store%2Fasset%2F1f26beb02153945a9d3992845eba950bd2fbfe6d%2Fcontents%2Fpreview> in India, On Sat, 14 Nov 2020 at 20:57, Tabish <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes Garg ji, > I have been doing that.
